I was compensated for this post. All opinions are my own. In the 1970's, around 67 million households had pets. By 2012, that number had more than tripled - to 164 million households had pets. Like 83% of american households, I consider my pugs Frank & Beans to be part of my family. They aren't just dogs to me and I want them to live happy, healthy lives. This means that I need to keep an eye on what I am allowing them to consume. I hear a lot of chatter about avoiding too many table scraps. Read more [...]

*I was given a complimentary pair of Atipas. All opinions are my own. Kelsie started pulling up next to furniture around 8.5 or 9 months old. It was fun to see her explore the world from her new perspective, but she didn't really have the balancing part down very well, and that combined with her slippery socks on our hard flooring meant she fell down a lot. She would predict her fall because her feet would start slipping in opposite directions and she'd yell, unable to do anything on her own. Read more [...]

I received products from Aubrey’s Attic for my review. All opinions are my own. As I began to think about Easter, I realized that my daughters were ready for new Easter baskets. Their baskets were small and the girls have had them since they were both just a couple of years old. Now that they are 7 years old and almost 5 years old, it was time for “big girl” Easter baskets. I wanted to get them baskets that would last a few years so I didn't want anything character related. I needed something Read more [...]

I have not received any compensation for this post.  All opinions are my own. My husband and I have been to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre more than a half dozen times in the past decade and that's even where we chose to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary this past September.  We were back to the Dinner Theatre again in January for a showing of Fiddler On The Roof when we learned that The Little Mermaid was going to be the next big production.  During intermission, we decided to purchase Read more [...]

I received a 16"x20" canvas print from Canvas Champ for my review.  All opinions are my own. I absolutely love canvas prints and was really excited to work with Canvas Champ on a review.  Canvas prints can be quite expensive so I don't really purchase many of them, however, I am glad to tell you that Canvas Champ has some extremely affordable prices.  I have looked up several canvas companies and when you find some with affordable pricing you always wonder about what kind of quality you will Read more [...]

I received products from YesStyle.com for my review. All opinions are my own. Today I get to share with you two of my latest finds at YesStyle.com. Both tops are great for this time of year as we transition from winter apparel into spring apparel. They can be worn by themselves on warm days or layered on cooler days. My first find was the YesStyle Z Lace-Back Tunic. The front of the tunic has a casual look that is similar to a traditional sweatshirt. It has a rounded crew neck line, long Read more [...]

*I was sent products from the American Kennel Club Brand. All opinions are my own. When we moved, we gained a lot of extra space. In our old apartment, we had either a bed or a couch in every room and we carpet everywhere except the kitchen and bathroom. Before, our dogs would mainly lay on the bed or sit on the couch with us. Now that we have an extra bedroom (that we use as a toy room, sewing room, etc) that doesn't have a bed, couch or carpeting, I thought it was time to get my dogs a dog Read more [...]
